I was wondering the same thing.

They say no now, but what if Alex Djordjevic or some other automotive collector/big shot shows up and demands to make their own COPO corvette....

I think it is a really cool idea!

If I had the money I'd do it

I think it would be awesome if more automotive manufacturer's did this - obviously only for their performance division cars

SRT - dodge
AMG - Mercedes
M - BMW

etc

I would totally do that. Then just be like "OMG look over there someone just dropped a crankshaft!" and slap in a bigger cam and smaller pully into an LS9

I can understand why you cant though. They still offer the warranty on "their" blue printed motor. Not yours with a bumpier cam, shaved deck, and a smaller SC pulley

Well...you would first have to get said smaller pulley and cam into the shop...as it wont be there. Its not like they have boxes of better cams sitting next to the stock cam.
They are also dyno tested...so if your engine made an extra 30hp, they would know about it.

I am sure it will be brought up every time someone comes in to do it.

oh stop the silliness they can't do it because of federal emissions rules. the engine would no longer be certified.

Not to mention, it would run like poop on the stock tune.
